Bless you professor for you courage and commitment to the American ideals.

I have to remind you once again, it is the Dems that have ushered in this rabid ideology that you inadvertently support by your poor judgement in selecting presidents (i.e., Barak Obama, Hilary, Biden).

You made a comment a few weeks ago stating that a you will vote for the candidate who will do the least amount of harm to the US constitution. However on a recent podcast since that statement you said you will vote against Donald Trump. So I ask you professor, do you believe that Donald Trump will do more damage to the constitution than what has happened since Biden took office? During the four years of the Trump administration did he come close to anything that you are seeing now? Anyway, I am sure you misspoke and forgot about your statement about protecting the constitution. - All the best.

Probably the best comment I've read yet. None of the usual "boot-licking". But this is so true. Sometimes it's our own azz that our head is up. I used to dismiss the idea of "Trump derangement syndrome". It is real and there are too many like der Professor that will cut off their nose to spite their face. Such unbridled distain is unwarranted. This is where you make your Hitler comparison Alan. You know, how the German people were so beaten down after the Treaty of Versailles, that they were willing to ignorantly put Hitler on top to ease their pain. Same old, same old. I agree that Alan is a constitutional scholar, but way off base as to who or what should lead this country. Thanks for giving us Traitor Joe!

Professor, I have bought many of your books and I was glad to see your letter. I am appalled by Ms Gay’s attitude and for Harvard lowering their standards to keep her in as president knowing full well her dissertation was filled with errors. Having earned my PhD and working hard in my own dissertation, I was angered that the group of other doctors should never have allowed her to publish at all. There are several internet programs that will show the candidate any plagiarism. I submit to you that there was no way this error could have slipped by. The other PhDs must have just decided to allow Ms Gay escape the scrupulous aspect of proper academia. Thank you for standing up for principles.

It seems like moderates are "appalled by Ms. Gay's" _______, insert favorite word. But the rest of us lost respect for higher education in the early 80's because we could see the trajectory it was taking. There should be no surprises here unless you had your head in the sand & were totally cut off from differing opinions. My favorite saying that I first heard from my older brother, "Too much college, not enough high school." this pretty much sums up the situation we are all in.

Thank you for your courage. Keep up the pressure. Name and shame the Harvard corporation board, they are just as compromised as Gay: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-get-into-harvard-gay-bobo-corporation

Free speech for me, but not for thee.....the DEI mantra.

Thank God for your voice that is needed so badly in a world that seems to have gone crazy. For many years following the Holocaust it was as if we had been vaccinated against anti-semitism and now the immunity has worn off as people have no exposure to or understanding of history. Having lost Elie Wiesel as a spokesman,we have to count on you, Professor, to represent us. Chazak, chazak, vinithazek!

So depressing. I am class of 1997 (HLS 2002 as well) and I was a sports editor of the Crimson. Back then many of our editors were Jewish and I have no doubt we would have taken a far different approach to Israel and the conflict. The Crimson is yet another institution rotted from the inside by DEI.

Thank you, Dr. Dershowitz. I don't think there is need for anymore proof of the rampant Marxism and systemic antisemitism on the Harvard campus. Or most others, for that matter.

This is a cancer and needs a cure, or the patient will certainly die.

Well, as you know this is how they create their social justice foot soldiers. Pravda, like the Harvard Crimson, is "not interested" in publishing anything that might threaten their narrative.

Dershowitz cannot have his cake and eat it too. While his letter may be correct, his approach underlying it is not. He supported and voted for the Democratic party which underwrites the DEI state of affairs he his trying to punch his way out of now. As Dershowitz refuses to call out his Democratic party for their antisemitism and antisemitic policy and continues to vote for its representatives, aligned with Claudine Gay and empowering her, he cannot then cry foul that Claudine Gay is being supported in her endeavour by Harvard. It is Harvard's mission to keep this state of affairs in place for as long as Democrats support it, and Dershowitz has tirelessly also supported Democrats. So stop sucking and blowing Dershowitz and maybe then people will start publishing you. Hypocrites do not have much legitimacy.

A Call for Action: Antisemitism and the Obama Foundation

President Barack Obama

Ms. Michelle Obama

Mr. Brian Chesky

Ms. Valerie Jarrett

Dear Obama Foundation and Voyager Scholarship Leaders:

The Obama Foundation has failed to rescind its Voyager Scholarship from a recipient who has called for a return to the gas chambers for students supporting Israel.

This Obama Foundation Voyager Scholarship recipient, Vanessa Romero, a junior at the University of Richmond, posted a picture of students who were counter-protesting at a Free Palestine rally, adding the text SHOWER TIME and an image of a shower head. She also labeled these primarily Jewish fellow students “the ugliest people on campus.” [Note: the faces of the students have been blurred here to protect their safety and privacy.]

The Obama Foundation has, to date, accepted her laughable explanation.

In response to this explanation, we believe that:

A student cannot make it to their junior year at a highly selective university without being aware of the Holocaust and the gas chambers used to exterminate Jews.

The “joke that people smell bad,” often used in retaliation for racism or ignorance, is not a plausible explanation. A Google search turned up no such joke.

The student fails to address the “ugliest people on campus award” insult that she lobbed at the group of largely Jewish students.

The Obama Foundation Voyager Scholarship is awarded to “young leaders who can bridge divides and help solve our biggest challenges together.” This student is clearly failing to “bridge divides,” instead calling for a return to the Holocaust.

In the wake of the barbaric terrorist massacre by Hamas on Israel on Oct 7 and Israel’s response to it, the surge of anti-Israel activity centered on college campuses is growing. By failing to revoke the scholarship from this student, the Obama Foundation is tacitly endorsing the Jewish hate festering on college campuses.

We call on you to reverse course and immediately revoke the Obama Foundation Voyager Scholarship from this recipient.

Sincerely,

Obama has ignored minority based Anti Semitism for decades and belonged to a chit h whose minister engaged in anti Semitism tropes. There are no reports of Obama stepping out and going to the equivalent of a Kiddush club during those sermons

Harvard is a Jew hating cesspool. It’s president is a failed affirmative action hire and truly a Neanderthal moron. The crimson isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Harvard is a ridiculous institution.

Alan, " Dare to be a Daniel , dare to stand alone " . You've done a great job, but sadly , the Harvard you knew, no longer exists . This is the beginning of the end of a long tradition. Destroyed by the new democratic / communist party. I strongly suggest that you remove your self from this party and claim yourself as an "independent ". RF Kennedy Jr. did.

I also respect Prof. Dershowitz very much. Yet just the other day he said to an audience of tens of millions on Sky's Piers Morgan that he's voting for Biden. It seems cognitive dissonance, but he says abortion & gun control are the issues that keep him loyal to his Party

Expand full comment

If that's the case , then Alan Dershowitz still - with all that is going on, Alan has not learned when to let go. Look at the current events , look at the rise of antisemitic movement during the Biden / Obama administration. and this is what Alan is loyal to?

Professor. This is a fantastic article. But I am wondering what decade you live in?...Sorry...I am not meaning to be disrespectful at all.....I could have told you these things though not all of it specific to Harvard several decades ago. Also you say it applies to antisemitism but it applies to anyone who believes in the greatness of our Constitution and wants the document to have meaning which it does not right now. Can the Constitution be improved?Of course . There are several blatant weaknesses that even I as a layperson saw decades ago.....But it is one if not the best governmental documents on earth.

Related response: An image of gassing students who support Israel was posted by someone at The University of Richmond. The Obama Foundation has made the shameful decision to maintain a scholarship for this student who has called for a return to the gas chambers for Jews who support Israel. Please pass on. We want as many signatures as possible! Thank you.
